You will complete this form and review with your supervisor prior to the start of the semester. This assignment is due in session one. It is strongly encouraged that you schedule approximately 30 minutes with your supervisor a minimum of one week prior to session one to provide time to write the assignment and modify if necessary. This form will be reviewed throughout the semester and assessed with the IDP Assessment Results and Reflective Paper. Things to consider when developing your competencies: • What do you intend to learn from this experience? • How do you intend to add value for yourself, your employer, customers or others? • What are your career goals? • What skills do you want to learn or enhance to add to your resume? • What are your supervisor’s expectations of you during this experience? Developing your Competencies You will use the IDP Worksheet to formulate three SMART Goals that will help you develop your competencies. An example is provided on page two of the worksheet however, the following steps should be taken to ensure success in this assignment: 1. Complete the initial Student Self-Assessment using the form named as such. This form is due in session 1. 2. Use the completed initial Student Self-Assessment to help identify the competencies (KSAs) you want to develop or enhance during your internship and the professional experience course. What do you want to explore, understand or learn? How would you like to obtain knowledge, skills and possibly change your attitude and/or behavior by the end of the experience? 3. Review and prioritize your list. Select THREE competencies that you want to concentrate on during your internship. These will be the basis for your IDP and should be included in the column labeled “Emerging Competencies” on the IDP Worksheet. 4. Complete the IDP Worksheet for each of your identified Emerging Competencies, which will assist you in structuring three concise SMART Goals. 5. The SMART Goals specify what you intend to learn AND accomplish during the duration of the professional experience not what you expect to do. • S-Specific and Significant • M-Measurable • A-Action-oriented and Achievable • R-Realistic and Relevant • T-Time-bound and Tangible 6.
